public highways over any other man,
from highest to lowest! What we
have commended for is equal rights
for all, and the eXaction of equal pay
from all, for the same service. We
want no exclusive nabob class, with
rights and privileges and perquisites
which all other citizens may not en-
joy, selected and set apart for speci-
al favoritism by the arbitrary will OF
whim of railroad magnates, for per-
sonal and political ends. In this
country, all men are equal before the
law, and ought to be so in fact there
fore we denounce that plain perver-
sion of law of which railroad mana
gers are guilty, in using the powers
conferred upon them to create class
distinctions and favoritisms, instead
of serving all alike, pursuant to the
clear intent of the state in giving
them exclusive corporate privileges.
Every miles transportation of pas
senger or Il ton of freight costs Civ
en- sum of money, which somebody
must pay, otherwise railroads could
not be operated ; and if one-tifth or
one fourth of those who ride pay
nothing, then the other four-tifths or
three-fourths are compelled to pay
from twenty-five to thirty-three per
cent more than fair price, to cover
the cost of deadheadism This, if
done by individuals, would be neither
more nor less than barefaced swind-
ling. Is it any less vile because done
by great corporations, nnder preroga-
tives granted by the state for the
equal benefit of all? The offence is
aggravated by the fact that those who
ride free are seldom the poor and I'M
fortunate, but almost always men and
their families or retainers who are
abundantly able to pay, and who
ride free because of personal or polit-
ical favors done the PASSOVER or ex-
pected by him. And SO, the free
pass becomes Il powerful instrument
of corruption in the hands of design
ing men.
But its most indefensible use is that
referred to by the CHpper-the Civ
ing Of free passes to "members of the
state government" as the Central
Vermont manager openly declares he
has done since the interstate COM
merce law went into operation.
There are two plain reasons why the
governor and high state officials,
judges of the courts and members of
the legislature should not ride free.
First they are servants of the state,
well paid for their services, and when
they travel in the performance of
official duty, the state pays their eX-
penses. Second, each one of them,
in one way or another, is liable to be
called upon to act officially upon
matters in which those whose gifts
they receive are vitality interested.
These gifts, to whomsoever made, are
obviously often intended as brides,
and if not so accepted or understood,
they have seductive influence on the
mind of the recipient, however
"strong in honesty he may be arm
ed. The substitution of mileage
tickets, issued free to favorites, in
place Of passes, is a cheap device
that deceives nobody, and dead
give-away, as much as are the pro-
truding tail feathers of the ostrich
whose head is hidden in the sand.

The supreme court has filed its de-

and etfectually disposes Of the boy
colt business in Vermont. The opin-
Ion was delivered by Judge Powers

it may be added, commendabe, for any
body of men to associate themselves to-
gether for the purpose of lettering then
condition in any respect, financially Oh
socially. The very genius of free insttu
tons invites them to higher levels and
fortunes. They may dictate they own
wages fraternizc with their own associ-
ates, choose THERE own employers, and serve
man and mammon according to the die
tates of their own consciences. But
while the law accords this liberty to one
it accords like liberty to every other one
and each is bound to so use and enjoy his
own liberties and privileges as not to in
terfere with his neighbOr."

work from which we quote:
"A single room in his tidy home furnish

began the manufacture of 'cellos for John
Woodbury., whose music store was in
Stems bookstore on the present site of
the Brooks house. Eightyfour of these
instruments were made and sold to the
trade in Boston and New York, which
secured to the maker quite reputation
for excellence of workmanship. After a
time he began to make violins and as his
books show 1926 of these instruments were
sold to Woodbury. and Burdett. Not till
1876 did he begin numbering his violins
so that he is not able to tell exactly how
many of them have been put on the mar
ket still it is his belief that he has made
as many as 100 violins all told, many of
which are undoubtedly in use to day. Let

AGAINST the lsEs.I..

Hearing by Gov. McGill of Argu-
menis for and against the HixsOm
Kilt.
AT 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Of
fee of Gov. McGill was the scene of hear
ing in relation to the HlXson freedom Of
traffic bill, which is before the governor for
his signature. Those present besides the
governor Were Gen. Becker and Gov.
Austin, railroad commissioners; Attorney
General Clapp, Gen. Barrett. Eric Olson
and ii. Z. Boon. Of the Farmers alliance;
Representative Mattson, William e. Smith.
solicitor for the Manitoba road. and 5. NJ.
Campbell, one of his assistants. Mr.. Smith. i'll
behalf Of his road, appeared to present rea-
sons why the governor should not sign the
bill. His arguments were the same as out
lined in the GLOBE yesterday. lie main-
tainS that the bill attempts to provide for
traffic from one state to another for which
the state has TO authority, also that amend
ments had been incorporated in the bill
without going through. the regular process
of legislation. He objected to the bill also
prehensiye Pope BILL and the two would
lead to confusion in the construction of
the Pope bill in the hands of the rail
road commissioners and OF the HiXson bill
with the courts. The two tribunals, Mr..
Smith thought. might make different inter-
pretations of the same points and cause con-
fusion. Gen. Barrett spoke briefly in favor
of the bill. His principal point was that
the Hixson bill provided, by authority of
the state for the regulation of traffic over
two or more different lines of roads, while
it was doubtful if they could be enforced
under the Pope bill rs effectively as under
the other. The matter was taken under
adyisement by the governor, who will be
guided by the attorney generals opinion OH
the legal points. Gov. McGill has three
days, exclusive of Sunday. in which to act,
which will make Tuesday the last day of
